Overview

OpenDKIM is used to sign e-mail messages. It is able to fetch DKIM private keys
from an LDAP Server. opendkim-manage is intended to write such private keys
into an LDAP Server. opendkim-genzone - an OpenDKIM utility - is able to fetch
these DKIM private keys from the LDAP Server, extract the public DKIM key and
create files suitable for use with named(8) to publish these public keys in your
DNS zone. If your OpenDKIM box has direct access to a primary DNS server,
opendkim-manage can also do dynamic zone updates. Currently only one DNS
server is supported.

Prerequirements

This packages is (will be) well tested on Debian 9 (Stretch) and SuSE Linux
Enterprise Server 11 (SLES_11). The following packages have to be pre-installed:

opendkim-manage is a tool to mange DKIM keys stored in OpenLDAP. It uses a
modified version of the OpenDKIM LDAP schema, which is also shipped with this
release. You can find the schema in the contrib folder as well as a sample
configuration file. Please see also the README.md file there for a structural
overview.

There is nothing much to install. Simply place the opendkim-manage script
somewhere into your bin-path, for example /usr/local/sbin. Edit your
configuration and you are fine.

If you have tested the functionaility, you may add a cron job at the end that
runs once a day:

@daily /usr/local/sbin/opendkim-manage --auto
